Pokereading

Lately, I've been perfecting the art of pokereading. That is, playing poker and reading a novel at the same time. It's actually super relaxing; I'm doing two of my favorite things at once! I have the Kindle PC app on my computer, and it automatically synchs up with Amazon so I can read any book in my Kindle library. I probably read about 2/3 of "Ender's Game" this way, and am now about halfway through "The Cuckoo's Calling", 100% via pokereading.

I owe a debt of gratitude to the designers of the PokerStars client for this ability; the software is smart enough to thrust itself to the foreground whenever it's time for me to make a poker decision. I never have to worry that I'll miss a time control and be sat out automatically. The only improvement I could suggest would be to make the software smart enough to put itself back in the background once I've made my poker decision, so I could continue reading without any additional clicks.

Last night, I hit the felt twice. I never made it back into the black, but recovered some of my lost chips after reupping for the second time.
